Leisure Tourism

Brisbane is one of Australia’s most diverse regions. Just an hour from the city visitors can experience everything from rolling green countryside and mountain rainforests to tranquil lakes and white sandy islands.

Brisbane Greeters

Brisbane Greeters is a FREE public service open to everyone. Whether you’re a local, here on business, a student, visiting or choosing Brisbane as your new home, we’re looking forward to meeting you. Brisbane Greeters are locals who love living here so much that they are enthusiastic about introducing you to their city, and sharing their intimate knowledge.

There are two types of greets offered through Brisbane Greeters: Greeter’s Choice or Your Choice.
